Managed to capture this earlier this morning, in the only gap that appeared in the cloud all night/morning:sadeyes:

I'm quite happy with the Cassini Division given the seeing was 5/10 at best.

However, the crepe ring is the most pleasing aspect. I'm not sure I've ever captured it quite so prominently before?

I think I've got my SCT collimation just about right:)

Thanks for looking

Nicely done Matt. :clap:


Imagine what a DMK would have been able to achieve this morning then. :eyepop:

Thanks Paul. I'm nearly over the line on the DMK.

Close. Very close.

Not from me, Davo:lol:

I'm saving that for Jupiter.

Saturn's more a prelude to a nude strut. More a quick wriggle in a pair of speedos. Close, but not quite the full monty!

Matt, do you mind if I have a play with the colour?

Go for it, Paul

Colour looks OK on my screen, but you know how computer screens are.

What do you think needs adjusting?

Looks a bit pink on my laptop is all. I might have gone a tad too far though :P

Oh yeah,

Can see that when I compare it with your re-jig.

I've noticed I do lean a little toward the red channel.

Cheers, mate:thumbsup:
